She attended Lafayette High School.   She married Winfred "Googer" L. Fanning, Jr. on January 5, 1979. He preceded her in death on September 26, 2004.  Debbie loved music, playing guitar and dancing before her illness took control.  She loved her family dearly, as she would say "with all my heart" along with her dog Sissy and cat Spotty.

Shine on sweet Debbie, till we see you again.
